I simply had the pleasure of assembly 4 individuals from Denmark, all about my very own age, who’re taking two of their six weeks paid trip touring the U.S.
I requested them about their nation’s standing re: the World Happiness Rankings (constantly within the high 5), they usually commented that, in change for barely increased taxes than we pay right here, they get free healthcare, they’re paid to go to varsity, and have little or no homelessness and different types of poverty. They’re additionally fairly pleased with their transition to renewable power and electrical transportation.
“Wouldn’t that make you comfortable?” of them requested me with a smile.
